On 4th November last year my daughter and I took up a residency at Alt Dearg a Cottage beneath the Black Cuillins on the Isle of Skye. Our daytime studio, her campervan. It was a magic week of weather where we really were chasing rainbows some of the time.

Come and see my work from that week. Much of it contained in sketchbooks hand made and containing cartridge paper with a prepared ground, using watercolour and pen and wash Techniques.

Other work from this last year from Venice, West Penwith, Devon, St Martin’s and Florence.
